Re: Announcing Orca

["Rich Caloggero" <rjc MIT EDU>]

What do people think of Python from a blind programmer's perspective? In
Python code, indntation is significant, so if your screen reader doesn't
report indentation correctly, then you cannot read or write it correctly. At
least, this has been my experience.  I'll take the extra block begin/end
tokens any day.

Thoughts or opinions?
